Day 202 [Action | Open to anyone] Merlotte's
[No doubt it's been a long day for some, newbies or standard inmates. Maybe you're lost, worried, feeling kind of alone and like ya need a stiff drink. Maybe you lost someone a few days ago, maybe you were hoping to find someone or head home yourself, but it didn't happen. Or maybe you're just hungry.

In any case, Merlotte's is open for business and the owner, Sam, is almost always there. There's even a pool table! Come on in and relax, forget about your worries and troubles for a while.]

((ooc: this can work like a mingle if you want to thread-jack and use it for an open meeting spot or what have you. This was kind of a random sudden thing, so have at it! If you want Sam just let me know in your header (or on plurk) , or feel free to mark closed threads for you and yours.))

	They're a good breed. I'm partial t'Collies myself. [Totally not a weird coincidence.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Collies, huh? [Maybe not weird, but he does note it.] Dog person? [Don't worry. He means someone who likes dogs, not someone who is a dog.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, you could say that. I mean, if we're talkin' preference of pet. Cats're fine but Dogs're more fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had one for awhile when I was a kid. [Kind of.] I didn't really expect to have another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-03-31 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah when I think prison I don't think, hey, we kin get a dog tomorrow. Jus' doesn't seem like somethin' we should have, bein' criminals an' all. Th' animals're innocent ain't they? So... what kinda dog did ya have? Or was it jus' a mutt? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-04-02 02:15 am UTC (link)
	[Sam just kinds of shakes his head.] I'm not really sure. Maybe a mutt. [Definitely a stray, kind of like him at the time.] Is that how you think of yourself? As a criminal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-04-02 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	[He scratches the back of his head.] S'hard t'say. I cain't really claim to be innocent. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not surprised someone wants me locked up, but it doesn't mean I think I should be here. [He thinks he should be putting right what once went wrong. Or was that another Sam?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-04-06 02:14 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods. Sam knows he deserves to be locked up, he killed people for petty reasons and anger issues. Still... Who wouldn't want freedom? He misses his real home.] I think if my friends weren't here an' I never met Buffy, I might rather want t'be home. [A look to him.] Y'got unfinished business back home?

[He nods, thinking there are times when the thought of staying here was more appealing than going home. After all, staying here could mean friends, maybe even a girlfriend. He had to go to an underwater, interdimensional prison to have the closest thing to a normal life he's had since college. Going home means letting Lucifer wear him like a meatsuit and then taking both of them to hell. There isn't a lot of appeal except for setting things right again. Things he messed up.]

You could say that. [He's like a ghost!]

	Seems like a lot'o people were jus' plucked right outta somethin' important. But I guess there's... copies of us? In our place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It does. Maybe that's part of their game. [He's looked at this prison every which way. He's still not sure what angle to take with it, but he nods at the other Sam's comment.]

That's what they tell us. Versions of us that won't commit crimes. I'm not sure I believe it. [He's also not sure why they'd lie about it. Or, at least, he's not sure why they'd choose that lie.]

	[A soft sigh and a nod.] That's th' tricky thing, I dunno what t'believe in this place. Suppose we'll never really know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-04-14 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, well, I'm still working on figuring it out. [He can't write it off as something he can't figure out. It just wouldn't be him. He's always got to do the impossible thing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-04-15 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Looking somewhat surprised and impressed.] Sounds like it'd be difficult. What've ya found so far? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nothing that anyone couldn't have found if you take the time to pay attention. [That's one part him keeping things close because it's what he does and because he's not sure how free he should be when talking to someone not on the Defense Force. Not that he's good at this sprawling teamwork network thing. The other part is just honesty. He's not impressed with his findings so far. He's been here this long and he feels like all his notes might as well say Sam's a dull boy, because they definitely don't tell him how to get home.]

	Ah. [Sort of taking a hint while feeling kind of bad for the guy. It must be frustrating being unable to find any real leads when you want to leave and have important work to do.] Y'want another beer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-04-30 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Definitely frustrating.] No. Actually, I should be heading out again. [The work is never done. Not until he's home anyway.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-05-08 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, alright. S'good talkin' to ya Sam. (Reply to this) (Parent)
